When about a mile out from Heth on way to Forrest City, Richard Jones, husband of the woman, armed with a shot gun attempted to get a shot at the prisoners. To protect the prisoners and himself, Brown let go of the steering wheel of the car to reach for a pistol.The car took a lunge for the ditch, but just before it went over Brown took a snap shot and missed the man.
